Thibs fascination with Kirk is really something. Every year he takes some PG off the scrap heap and makes him a bunch of money yet he keeps going back to the well with Kirk. You'd figure Thibs would put him out to pasture and just get another min vet guy.
Yeah, he wouldn't have such a quick setup and release on his shot if he didn't have some athleticism in him. That 20 foot push shot he made last night was something.
If he sails through the 8th, I think I would send him back out again in the 9th too. I would too but not having someone up in the pen getting ready seems unnecessary.
